In Germany there’s an app called “Jodel”, which is essentially like a localized reddit/lemmy. That means, you only see posts from people near you (the default is something like 10km, I think).

This is of course awesome for localized events, Craigslist style posts, or just discussions about local stuff.

I wondered, despite creating local communities on Lemmy or tags for your city, is there anything like it on the fediverse?

    I’m not aware of one who has locality embedded at it’s core.

    I’d love to see an alternative to kleinanzeigen.de . I recently learned (here on Lemmy) that there is Flohmarkt. I still have to try it myself. But it doesn’t seem to sort the listings by proximity, which would really add to it.

    And there is Mobilizon for events.

    Both projects are federated afaik. But the ‘local’ aspect isn’t really baked in to the way they federate.
